Design and construction of sun tracking systems for solar parabolic concentrator displacement

Solar concentrator technology is becoming more prevalent today and studies performed on this subject have gained a great deal of interest in the world. In order to design a new solar parabolic concentrator that will be installed to operate in more efficient and more feasible way, it is necessary in the first step to analyze such parameters like solar irradiations values, and solar angles. Therefore, in this work, theoretical studies have been performed for solar angles using time and geographic parameters in Tunisia. An experimental measurement of solar irradiations has been done using a high precision metrological station to determine the diffuse, the direct and the global irradiations on the horizontal plane.
